Saige LaFountain Saige was born in Boulder, Colorado on June 2, 1981. He is a sculptor whose passions in life are shared through stone and bronze. He works with stone from quarries of the Americas to the marble mountains of Europe. Constantly pushing his limits, his work is created using contemporary and traditional techniques. His ideas of flowing figures, rich with culture are expressed even exaggerated at times. He loves to carve all of what this medium has to offer. A multitude of innovative sculptures invite viewers to enjoy every angle of his work.

Raised in a atmosphere of artist, Saige carved his first sculpture at the age of eleven for a school project. He was exposed to this art form from the day he was born. His father, being and accomplished stone carver, influenced Saige’s interest even further. Saige spent countless hours observing, learning, enjoying his father’s talent in his studio. Essentially becoming his second home. Earning several apprenticeships from accomplished artist, including his uncle, who is also a stone sculptor.

Saige yearns to refine and develop new endeavors. Forever fascinated with the freedom and hidden potentials with every stone. His drive is to establish himself with a voice through stone. To give back what he can, by sharing his culture, his talent and his life. He strives to leave a legacy of work behind to inspire future generations. Most important to Saige is the understanding and recognition for cultures to appreciate his art through time. Captivating Saige’s experiences, the stone always dictates what is to be created. “My art form is a relationship that always reciprocates effortlessly beyond my expectations. When I was young, I was shown the tools I needed to express myself. Today I embrace this dance that I share with my work. Forever curious to where it will take me.”
